Raven’s Nest

Had the fruit & yogurt parfait - excellent (and very hearty). Can't beat dining with Zen

I had super high hopes for this place and the longer I was there, the more disappointed I became. I cannot speak to the drinks as we didn't get any, only the food and atmosphere. I got the prosciutto havarti crepe. It would have been fine, but there was a disgusting amount of mustard that it was hard to enjoy. After scraping some of the mustard out, it was better, but I got a lot of bits of prosciutto that were hard and not chewable. My husband had their sweet specialty crepe and said it was okay, but drowned in chocolate (the flavor was cherry), and there was a piece of hard plastic in it. The service was fine, and food was quick, so I will give them that. The cafe itself had a really cute entrance but once inside, it was not clean in there and disorganized. Their retail section had a bunch of empty boxes (none actually had stuff in them), shirts all thrown on the shelf not folded, and the food counter where they we're making crepes was really dirty. They did not appear to be understaffed as there were few customers, ajd 4 staff members on their phones and/or chatting. Their menu had me super excited but the execution was not good and it's really hard for me to eat at places that are dirty inside. We will not be back.

Every part of me wants to love this place. It has a super sweet dog, the staff is always above and beyond nice, and the service is quick. With all that said... it is the main point of the business which is lacking for me. After going semi regularly (it's often less busy than Blue Monday or little joy) I haven't had one drink I would call beyond mediocre. Their matcha is always too milky and their coffee is nothing special. Their food is pretty good don't get me wrong, but sometimes I look at my $15 dollar crepe and think to myself, am I an idiot for paying this. Raven's Nest is by no means a bad cafe, but it hasn't blown me out of the water yet.

Cute cafe in the back of a bike shop with coffee, crepes, sandwiches, and some other light food. You order at the bar and they call your name when the food is ready. I backed their Indiegogo campaign over a year ago and still haven't gotten the stuff I ordered. I decided to at least get my coffee and crepe. I'll say that I'm not too happy with the communication from the bike shop/cafe. At this point I doubt I'll ever get the hat and bike jersey.The coffee is from Wonderstate and is excellent. The Caprese crepe was "ok". Tons of filler with a few mozzarella pearls and 2-3 cherry tomatoes. The balsamic wasn't very flavorful despite having enough to make the crepe slightly soggy.I'm still waiting on my crowfunding purchase but don't think I'll be back to the cafe for food.

Delicious crepe's!! A place like this was needed for Downtown Northfield! All the crepes were beautifully made by Michael. They all tasted so good. Great service, such talent!The restaurant is located in the back of a bike shop, so cool and neat! Definitely recommend if you are ever in the infamous Northfield :)

Fun addition to the Northfield scene. This is a bikeshop cafe - some of the seating has a front row view of the bike repair shop. A little Portlandian but it works. Had a super tasty lunch crepe with lox and a simple crepe with maple syrup. Good coffee. Fast service. I'd love to see a lemon and sugar crepe! They also have shrubs and wine with beer coming soon. Definitely worth checking out.

Spontaneously drove down to Northfield. Walked along the River for a little bit on a sunny (COLD) Saturday. Meandered on to Main Street and then saw a sandwich board alerting us to crepes and coffee at "The Raven's Nest". Co-located with a bike shop but two distinct operations. We decided a snack would be great! From conversations around me, I gather this establishment recently opened. I could not find it on Yelp, so I set it up. The menu had a variety of savory and sweet crepes and nice selection of coffee and tea options. They feature coffees roasted by Wonderstate Coffee. I ordered the Lox and Dill savory crepe and a dark roast coffee. My better half ordered a lemon curd blueberry sweet crepe and a decaf mocha. We sat down a the throw back era tables. The establishment has two crepe plates and you can watch and drool whilst they conjure up your crepe delight! We were both satisfied and enjoyed our crepes and beverages! We'll be back to try more of their creations!! Staff were WONDERFUL and helpful. Hint: if you get the lox and dill crepe be CERTAIN to eat the pickled carrot garnish!!! Wow- yummy!Cheers!

I love Raven's Nest!!! The employees are the sweetest people ever, their Wonderstate coffee is imo the best in Northfield, and their Crêpes are delicious!! Definitely visit the Raven's Nest and Farmstead Bike Shop because they are just wonderful. :)

One of the cutest cafes I have ever been to! Such a kind and welcoming environment- the staff was very nice and down to earth. There is also a dog (Zen) who will do tricks for treats! He is super friendly and brightened up my day. I had the whip and berry crepes made gluten free, and they were spectacular. I also tried some of the yogurt parfait which completely exceeded my expectations- so delicious! Coffee is great too- I had a latte and it was awesome. Definitely make sure to give Raven's Nest a try next time you're in Northfield!
